Nice, I wrote a similar scraper in NodeJS, which also delivers profile information: https://github.com/fhemberger/googleplus-scraper/

Are you interested in contributing?

Think I'd rather wait until the API is released.

Interesting. Does the user need to be logged in to G+ and a friend of the person you are requesting the feed for? Otherwise its a bit of a privacy bug!

Edit: Reading it again, it clearly states public posts only.

A guy already did an RSS feed generator based on that JSON:

This strikes me as a massive waste of time. I would expect Google to release their own native RSS/Atom feed functionality in the not too distant future.

Although this comment is being downvoted, I stand by it. Why would you spend time producing a third party addon which you know will almost certainly be obsoleted by a "native" version. This application has no future. Google will expose these feeds via RSS themselves.

Hardly "massive" - his code is a single file with 108 sloc.
